Photos of the Month November 2008

Mike Miles Theme - “WATER”

Next Month: The theme for the January photo of the month contest is "Churches". The idea is to make an image that best interprets the term "Churches" either as the main subject or supporting the main sub-ject. If you have any questions just send me an e-mail at rodshean@bellsouth.net.

Here is exciting news about our monthly photo contest. In addition to our photo of the year contest that we announced last meeting, we are also going to have prizes for our monthly contest winner. Dury's has agreed to award a gift certificate of $100 for the first place winner each month and they are going to pub-lish the winning picture on the Dury's website each month. We are also going to open the contest to pic-ture sizes up to 8.5 x 12.

Future theme's: April - Bugs July - DirtFeb- Barns May - Kids Aug - RedMarch - Animals June - Elderly Sept - City
